Agave Victoriae Reginae | Queen Victoria Century Plant

Incredibly attractive, award-winning Agave victoriae-reginae is an evergreen, perennial succulent forming a perfectly spherical, solitary rosette of thick, smooth and spineless, dark green leaves. Each leaf is adorned with almost ‘hand-painted’ white margins and a small terminal spine. While infrequent, mature plants (over 10 years) flower only once. They are topped with a magnificent flowering spike that can reach 15 ft. (5m), and bears dense clusters of creamy-white flowers. The flowering rosette dies after flowering and will have to be replaced as it usually does not offset. Very slow-growing, this distinctive Agave is terrific for sunny borders or containers.
